e is for ... evening

OK, so my choice for Illustration Friday is not very imaginative. I should've challenged myself with something like ethereal, exponential or even empty. But time is tight and this is the latest painting for the upcoming landscape show. I'm trying to stick to a local winter theme. This is called West Coast Winter Twilight, and depicts the wild west coast of Vancouver Island.The BoBs are here. To support your favourite blog in any of 20 categories, vote here. I've discovered some really good stuff during my casual perusal of the past few days. When I have more time I want to take a closer look. I also discovered artforum.com today. There are other arts news pages on the web but this one is better than most.

Stunning, Andrea! I always say the same thing, but i am always blown away by your rendering of light. Your painting below of the the path and trees has the same effect on me. I would love to see these is person:>

Hey Andrea......I very much love this painting. It speaks to me of the long hours spent driving up and down the coast and the peace and tranquility even the largest waves evoke in my soul. If you still have it when I get some dough....it's mine!L&L............Me

Can most certainly tell that it is dusk (I know dusk starts with "d" and not "e" but I'm a contrarian). You have most distinctive style, especially the way you do the outlines of shapes/subject. Excellent (now I'm not quite so contrarian)
